NEW YORK (Billboard) — Paul Westerberg severely injured his left hand and could be sidelined for a year, according to a blog posting from Jim Walsh, a Minneapolis writer and friend of the former Replacements lead singer.

“A week or so again he put a screwdriver through his left hand trying to get some wax out of a candle and cut some nerves and ripped some cartilage and hurt himself pretty bad,” Walsh reported. “He’s in a cast. He’s seen a couple of doctors who say he won’t be able to play guitar for a year.”
